You, my friend are one of those visionless, directionless floating nigerians who will rather engage their mouths, before thinking of engaging their brains in public discourse. How you came up with the gibberish you wrote up there without being a cement dealer beats my imagination. None of you here ever went to the cement companies to do any investigative work to know how the price rose that much, but you will be here throwing words around to confuse yourself and others on what you know nothing about.

In this your rubbish post, you admitted Dangote is silent, the government are also silent, but you must talk, and talk whatever comes to your head. You heard they sell ATC for 3000, no verification on how much they got it, or the kick back they offered to get it despite the official cost and you believed it and blamed your fellow suffering Nigerians. Tomorrow now you will all start a riot and kill all cement dealers and the government and Dangote will be laughing at your inflated idiocy.

Yes, far north is selling cement normal, and that becomes an indictment on southern dealers, and you never asked if there are penalties the southern dealers are paying behind the scenes to even get a single supply? In your mind, the south is corrupt, and the north is clean.

You people should get out there and investigate. Not running your mouths like a tap.
I bow for u oooo, chai... You sabi insult oooo, who dey fight u sef? Abi who offend u. I insult anybody for my words, you come insult like say u get Doctor for insultology.

Are you sure the total footprint is up to 295sqm?

If yes, 38 bags of pop cement won’t take you anywhere.

What is behind the price hike is corruption, and it's happening on 3 levels.

Level one is where the manufacturer decides to leave a supply gap, citing disruptions like covid19 and the endsars riots, then hoard the products and release them in drips, to the highest bidders who are ready to pay from the backdoor to get supplied, because there is a large demand.

Level two corruption is among the dealers themselves, and they do that is by increasing prices exponentially to cover their losses which they are already incurring from customers who paid earlier at low cost, they must raise prices or relocate to their villages.

Level three is the government who will look at where it is happening and say, "after all its not affecting our people, so the south can kill themselves, after all they brought the endsars wahala on themselves"

Is this your own opinion or you have first hand knowledge of these information? I am asking because you were insulting checkitaut for stating his own thought. The way you spoke to the guy is very rude and very wrong

I made inquiries recently, I was given 2 choices, full casing or hanging, I think the diff is in the length of casing to be used and where to case, it ranges from 4500-6000/m for hanging and 6000-9000/m for full casing. The price varies with company

Please I want to know a friend of mine is seriously contemplating if he should use Gerald roofing, long span steptiles or metcopo for his building. The engineer is insisting he use Gerald to bring out the beauty of the precast parapet work and for him not to regret later on using metcopo.

I want to know can't long span steptiles or metcopo be use on parapet must it be Gerald roofing sheet? Most of if not all buildings around here with precast or cast parapets uses Gerald roofing sheets

Please do break it down for us.
done that long ago.

zuraking:
okay. The battery I am using is 150ah which cost 60k for one. So let's assume your house is 2 bedroom to 3 bedroom, you can manage 2 batteries. If your house is 4 bedroom or duplex you can use 4 batteries and have it in mind that you must be checking wattage of any electronics you are buying or using (the lower the wattage, the longer your battery will last after fully charged). You MUST use original AKT energy bulbs with 5-10 watts maximum in your house to make the batteries last longer.

So what's are needed :

1.. batteries 150ah cost 60k, 200ah cost 95k

2... Inverter (this will be the one to supply light and also charge the batteries when we are in raining season) price is 65k for 1kv and 120k for 2.5kv. you can buy used one to cut cost which is 35k for 1kv and 75k for 2.5k.

3... Solar panels. 150ah batteries needs 300watts to charge it full with 5-6hours sunlight. so you can buy 150watts 2 for 150ah battery which cost 25k per 150watt. If you don't want your roofing to be filled up with panels, you can buy single 300watts for 38-45k (but I prefer 150 watts)

4... charge controller: this is used to control the sunlight that will be charging your batteries with solar panels to avoid over charging. It cost 8-10k

5... You need wire that will connect your solar panels from.th roofing to the batteries inside. The price depends on the height of the roofing and the location of the batteries. price shouldn't be more that 10k assuming the house is 2 story building and you live down.

In conclusion, your pocket will give you what you want and the more the batteries and panels, the longer the power supply. When my batteries are fully charged (with 5-6 hours sunlight my batteries are full already) we use it from evening till the next morning.
